IOS – Prevent app from opening after executed shortcut
iosshortcuts-app
I’ve created a simple shortcut which adds clipboard to a note:
The problem is that after the shortcut has completed, the note gets open in the app afterwards. Is there a way to prevent that so the app stays in the background?

This is up to the app developer to implement. Some apps add an option to choose whether to open the app with the result. You should contact the developer to ask if this can be added to that shortcut action.
I finally found a way to get rid of that small window and make links open in a full browser.
I was using Google's Inbox to read emails and Chrome to open the links. As the OP was describing, clicking on a link opened a small Chrome window and because Inbox does not support Split View, the small window was not resizable. It turns out iOS remembers the size and state of the last time Chrome was opened in multitasking mode.
I had to start some other app that supported Split View (like “Reminders”), pull up the dock, drag the Chrome icon to the top of the app, essentially kicking in Split View. Then I resized the Chrome window to be full screen.
This way, now when I click on a link on Gmail or Inbox and select Chrome to open it, it comes in full screen.
